Google doing a good Job

Mashups are getting nicer and nicer.  Google released has a mobile application that allows you to see my friends locations and status messages via google maps.  The website says that the application is available right now on Android phone, BlackBerry devices, windows Mobile devices. This will be released to iPhone users through Google's Mobile App.  (Probably an Android vs iPhone competitor delay)

There are some privacy concerns of course but Google made a valiant effort to address these.  There must be a handshake between friends in order to share locations.  You are allowed to set privacy levels (hidden, city or best) in order to duck from those stalkers you have.

Now parents will be stalking their children from any where, and kids will be switching sim cards with friends.
